MIGA is a major partner for Japanese companies, currently providing over $1 billion in guarantees for Japanese investments across the globe. We have worked together to channel sizeable investments to help promote economic growth and job creation, as well as improve local people’s lives in a number of developing countries, including Ghana, Indonesia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Panama, South Africa, Turkey, Vietnam, and Zambia.
Japan is among the largest shareholders of MIGA, and the government of Japan is one of the largest contributors to MIGA’s Trust funds, both in terms of the amount and the number of trust funds. Japan supports the West Bank and Gaza Trust Fund, the Renewable Energy Catalyst Trust Fund, and the Ukraine’s Reconstruction and Economy Trust Fund.
In addition to working with private investors from Japan, MIGA engages in regular dialogue and collaboration with development finance institutions and export credit agencies, such as JICA, JBIC, and NEXI, to support private cross-border investors around the world.
In recent years, MIGA has been steadily increasing its support for Japanese clients and is ready to further ramp up the role of Japanese investors in helping meet various development challenges in emerging markets and developing economies.

Selected MIGA Projects Involving Japanese Investors
Tunisia
In 2024, MIGA issued a guarantee of €18.45 million to Aeolus SAS, a joint venture owned by subsidiaries of Toyota Tsusho Corporation of Japan. The guarantee provides 20 years of coverage for Aeolus’s investments against risks of transfer restriction, expropriation, war and civil disturbance, and breach of contract. The guarantee enabled the construction of two 50-megawatt solar power plants in Tunisia, the first grid-connected renewable energy independent power producers in the country, which will help Tunisia increase renewable power deployment to 35% by 2030 while diversifying the country’s energy mix and increasing access to affordable energy at a time of rapidly growing demand.
